Implementation delivers robust security with room for a more intuitive interface

What is our primary use case? One of our customers uses the Juniper SRX Series Firewall. I am a Juniper customer, and we talked about earlier, I usually work as a subcontractor. I implement Juniper solutions as a subcontractor under other bigger companies, typically for medium and enterprise clients. What is most valuable? I appreciate Juniper software solutions, though the Juniper SRX Series Firewall is similar but slightly different than the physical Juniper firewall SRX. The routing, Layer 2, 3, 4 solutions in the network layers are valuable features. I appreciate Juniper firewall solutions. What needs improvement? The graphical user interface could make this firewall better. The weakest point of Juniper is the graphical user interface. With a better user interface and graphical interface, the Juniper SRX Series Firewall could be a superior solution compared to what it is now. For how long have I used the solution? I have used the Juniper SRX Series Firewall for five years. I used it in test environments more than ten years ago, but it was only for testing. There was SRX version 12. From version 12, everyone could download a Juniper SRX Series Firewall version and use it in test environments. After that, Juniper created a bigger version for production environments. What was my experience with deployment of the solution? I appreciate this device and solution, so I have not experienced any challenges. It is good to integrate Juniper firewalls. What do I think about the stability of the solution? The solution has absolutely high stability. One of our customers told me, 'Juniper always works if I can provide power for the device.' It offers absolutely high stability solutions. Since 10 is always suspicious, I rate it nine. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? The scalability is high, rating between eight and nine. How are customer service and support? Technical support is very good. I usually create tickets to the Juniper technical support, and they usually can help me. I would rate it eight. How would you rate customer service and support? Positive Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch? I prefer the hardware platform SRX over the Juniper SRX Series Firewall. The Juniper SRX Series Firewall provides similar solutions to other virtual environments, such as FortiGate virtual firewall or Checkpoint virtual firewall. I am uncertain about the benefits of the Juniper SRX Series Firewall over these other platforms. FortiGate is another one of my favorite firewalls. How was the initial setup? I never used the initial setup or the fabric initial setup. I usually delete all default configurations and build my own configuration with the firewall. The main reason is that I usually build firewall clusters, which requires deleting everything and creating a new configuration from the baseline. The setup takes a few hours, typically two hours. The initial solution requires building the configuration, security policies, network address translation rules, special routing for firewall filter policies, and more. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? This is difficult to answer because I never sell these devices. As a subcontractor, I only configure them. I am not aware of the market price for Juniper products. What other advice do I have? I absolutely recommend the Juniper SRX Series Firewall, but not for everyone. The Juniper graphical user interface is not very friendly, but the shell is very good. I recommend it for highly ranked technical people who need to understand what they want. They should have a very strong base in Linux and other command line knowledge, such as Cisco. With this knowledge, Juniper is a very good solution. My overall rating for this solution is 7 out of 10. Which deployment model are you using for this solution? On-premises If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use? Other Disclaimer: My company has a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer:Partner What is our primary use case? One of our customers uses the Juniper SRX Series Firewall.

Good encryption algorithm that helps with efficient network traffic encryption but doesn't provide UTM solutions

What is our primary use case? We use it for our IPsec VPN and for IT security and have enabled encryption on the network traffic. We use 128-bit encryption. How has it helped my organization? We have a very small branch office firewall, and enabling security features would degrade our traffic performance. That's why we only use IPsec VPN. For example, we have not enabled threat management capabilities in Juniper. What is most valuable? We use Juniper firewalls just for network traffic encryption, and we think it's a good encryption algorithm. We avoid sniffing and some kinds of breaches in our network traffic. That's the only facility we are gaining from this Juniper firewall. But when we implement the Fortinet firewall, we will definitely enable traffic inspection after decryption. We will enable traffic encryption and traffic inspection on the FortiGate firewalls. What needs improvement? It's a very small firewall, and Juniper doesn't provide UTM solutions. That's why we are shifting towards FortiGate firewalls. We definitely have some kind of business functionality that is not matching with this firewall. Our research and development department works on it, and they recommended that we should replace it with a better firewall, like Fortinet or Cisco, and we found Fortinet more feasible. For how long have I used the solution? We have been working with Juniper firewalls for approximately more than three to four years. We have worked with the SRX. Different appliances have different versions because we have not updated them regularly. It varies from appliance to appliance because we are not convinced that we have to update all the versions and then upgrade our security infrastructure to only Juniper firewalls. So we did not focus on our versions and updates because we have strategies to implement a different firewall than Juniper. What do I think about the stability of the solution? It's a very stable firewall. We have no issues regarding hardware performance. It's working fine. Its maintenance cost is very low, and we haven't seen any kind of challenges in hardware functionality or even its services, like IPsec services. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? We have a scalability option, but we have a limited number of branch offices so far. So we are okay with it, but due to some UTM facilities in Fortinet, we are shifting towards Fortinet. It's unexpected that market support is very limited now, and SRX firewall will become obsolete and reach end-of-life. We have approximately, including all our branch offices, 1,500 end users. How are customer service and support? Regarding technical support, we don't require any because we use these devices underutilized, and it's working fine. Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch? We had a tender about three months ago, and we purchased Fortinet FortiGate firewall. We are going to implement it soon, within a month. We have an IPsec VPN already established on a Juniper firewall, while we're using a Fortinet firewall as an aggregation firewall. We plan to replace our Juniper firewalls with FortiGate firewalls. What about the implementation team? We are just firewall deployment engineers. We just deployed the firewall provided by the security policies from the information security department. All the security features come from our information security department, and they will look into it and provide us with the procedures, and we implement the procedures as given by them. We are only configuration engineers. It is easy to maintain, there is little maintenance required. What other advice do I have? I would recommend it to others. If their need is very limited and aligns with their business functions, we recommend using Juniper Firewall. It's very cost-effective, easily managed, and it's working smoothly. It's a good firewall. Overall, I would rate it a six out of ten. Disclaimer: My company has a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer:Implementer What is our primary use case?

Offers excellent features of powerful routing and USB blocking applications with support for AI technologies

What is our primary use case? At our company, we use the Juniper SRX Series Firewall for customers in the banking sector. What is most valuable? The complete security bundle, powerful routing and USB blocking applications are the most valuable features of Juniper SRX Series Firewall. The solution effortlessly integrates with other third-party products. The product has been recently acquired by Hewlett-Packard enterprise. Juniper Firewalls and switches always support AI-powered and ML technologies. Juniper SRX Series Firewall is user-friendly for the end-users as well as the integrators. What needs improvement? Juniper SRX Series Firewall does not offer protection for IoT devices. Therefore, devices like CCTV cameras, biometric systems, control access systems, and building management systems cannot be protected using the product. With around 450+ IoT devices worldwide, Juniper SRX Series Firewall should allow protection for all such devices with an ethernet port, similar to Palo Alto and Check Point. The GUI of the product is overcomplicated and almost every feature of the solution needs to be implemented through CLI programming, using tools like Tera Term. The solution provider should simplify the GUI for partners, system integrators and end users alike. For how long have I used the solution? I have been working with Juniper SRX Series Firewall for ten years. What do I think about the stability of the solution? I would rate the stability a ten out of ten. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. I would recommend Juniper SRX Series Firewall for enterprises of every scale. How are customer service and support? Juniper products are only available through a couple of national distributors in our country. In our company, we reach out only to distributors for support, and then the Juniper tech team provides official support. We receive excellent support at our company for Juniper SRX Series Firewall. How was the initial setup? The initial setup of the product is complicated to some extent, as it only supports CLI programming. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? I would rate the pricing eight out of ten. The solution is available at a reasonable and transparent price point. Which other solutions did I evaluate? In our country, Chinese IoT devices are widely used, but Juniper SRX Series Firewall or similar firewall solutions from Fortinet or Sophos are unable to protect them. But firewall products from Palo Alto and Check Point can protect IoT devices. Customers of our company using IoT devices remain worried about IP hacking, therefore we promote Check Point Firewall with IoT protection license. Juniper SRX Series Firewall is most suitable for protecting devices like computers, desktops and laptops. What other advice do I have? I would overall rate the product a ten out of ten. I would definitely recommend the product the others, but at our company, we implement customization according to customer requirements before deploying the solution.

A stable and scalable solution that has really versatile ports

What is our primary use case? I use Juniper SRX Series Firewall for research purposes. What is most valuable? You can be very specific with what you can put in the solution. I can have the solution as my management interface. The ports are really versatile for their application and don't always have to be used for the purpose for which they were made. What needs improvement? When I was going to upgrade the OS, the solution didn't accept certain USB devices. So, I had to put in the OS using a trivial FTP server. Otherwise, the solution is really advanced. It's really hard to get a hold of the firmware for it. Even if you applied for customer support, getting to the software side is a little harder. If you want to upgrade the OS, you have to do this by special pauses. You can't just upgrade from an old version to the newest one. You have to make middle landings. For how long have I used the solution? I have been using Juniper SRX Series Firewall for two weeks. What do I think about the stability of the solution? Juniper SRX Series Firewall is a stable solution, but it depends on how you set it up. You can make the solution unstable if you want to, but it will be stable if you set it up correctly. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? Juniper SRX Series Firewall is really scalable, but it depends on how you set up the network topology. How was the initial setup? The solution's initial setup depends on what interface you use. If you use the J-Web, it's quite easy. If you do it by console, it isn't always clear what order you should be doing things on when you apply the settings. When you first come into the console, you might not know they're in the FreeBSD shell but not the Juniper OS. What about the implementation team? The solution's deployment is actually ongoing. I had it up for once, but I upgraded it because it was a really old version of the OS. Currently, the biggest hurdle is that when you cross over to a new version, you have to occupy one port for management. In the previous version, I could select an in-line management instead of dedicated out-of-band management. Now, I have to sacrifice one port for the management. It's not needed for my application, but now I am forced into having a management interface. I also noticed that several vulnerabilities have been discovered lately in the Juniper OS. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? Juniper SRX Series Firewall is worth its money. What other advice do I have? You should read all the release notes before you change the OS because you don't know what you're giving up and what new features you're getting. It's not always that the newest OS is the best for you. So, select the OS based on your specific deployment needs and not just to have the newest one. Overall, I rate Juniper SRX Series Firewall an eight out of ten. Which deployment model are you using for this solution? On-premises Disclaimer: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions. What is our primary use case? I use Juniper SRX Series Firewall for research purposes.

Suitable for small to medium-sized enterprises

What is our primary use case? I work for a system integration company that partners with Juniper. Currently, I'm in a role akin to a technical consultant. The SRX Series is often used by enterprise companies, typically in a cluster mode configuration, to enhance reliability. It's suitable for small to medium-sized enterprises as well. How has it helped my organization? Juniper recently announced a new SRX model that's very powerful, so I'm currently satisfied with the offerings. What is most valuable? The product provides good performance and has features comparable to other leading products in the market. We typically use the SRX for VPN solutions and it supports next-generation features like antivirus, anti-spam, and IPS effectively. What needs improvement? There is room for improvement in scalability and performance. It's scalable and reliable, but when using next-generation firewall features, the performance decreases significantly for Juniper SRX. In Check Point and Cisco, the performance decrease is less. For how long have I used the solution? I have been using it for ten years. I have good experience with Juniper SRX Series Firewall, especially in federal applications. What do I think about the stability of the solution? The branch model, being the smallest, sometimes has some bugs. However, the high-end and middle-end models are reliable and stable. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? It is scalable, but unlike some vendors, like Check Point, which allows connecting more than two devices in a cluster, Juniper only supports configuring two devices in a cluster. It's scalable and reliable, but when using next-generation firewall features, the performance decreases significantly for Juniper SRX. In Check Point and Cisco, the performance decrease is less. How are customer service and support? I provide technical support myself. Before, I found solutions myself. I don't usually need technical support for the SRX. How was the initial setup? For me, the initial setup is straightforward due to my experience. Juniper provides good documentation with example configurations, which should help even beginners. What about the implementation team? I've handled installation services for service providers. I mostly work with on-premises versions, but sometimes I also install cloud-based solutions. I start by preparing the configuration based on the customer's requirements, then upgrade to the Juniper-recommended version and install the configuration. The deployment time depends on the number of SRX devices. Usually, I can handle it alone. It takes two to three hours to deploy one SRX firewall. The maintenance is moderately challenging. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? There is value for money. It offers a good solution at a good price. The price is normal for such a product. What other advice do I have? I would recommend reading the documentation before beginning the configuration. Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
